The Bloody Autumn of 1914 comes to an end…

The Bloody Autumn event has come to an end in Tannenberg. This seasonal event was based on the Siege of Przemyśl 1914. During the actual siege, the Russians obliterated the Austro Hungarian armies, which resulted in the Central Powers believing that a massive Russian push towards Germany took place, yet it never did.

During our Seasonal event the Entente suffered 1.537.161 casualties while the Central Powers lost even more with 1.604.116 fallen soldiers, which makes the Entente faction the winner of the Bloody Autumn 1914!

The actual Siege had a total of over 252.000 casualties with both sides combined. However, these also include the wounded soldiers. It seems we ended up calling this seasonal event Bloody Autumn 1914 for a very good reason…

The number of casualties counted during the event includes the struggles on the Western Front as well as the Siege of Przemyśl on the Eastern Front of Tannenberg. For this event we only counted the kills that involved a player, so bots vs bots fights have not been counted.

Look out for more Seasonal events coming soon where you can earn more special medals across Verdun & Tannenberg!

On the 5th of November 1918, allies agreed to take up negotiations for a truce. French general Ferdinand Foch would be writing up one of the most important documents in human history soon after. The Armistice of Compiègne was signed on November 11th 1918 and went into effect a couple of hours later. A day to be remembered, but we will have more on that next week…
